Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Filtereinsatz für ein Flüssigkeitsfilter nach der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 näher angegebenen Gattung.The invention is based on a filter insert for Liquid filter according to the preamble of claim 1 specified genus.

Es ist schon ein solcher Filtereinsatz für Kraftstoff-Filter aus der DE 35 14 778 C1 bekannt, bei dem das sternförmig ausgeführte Filterelement zwischen zwei stirnseitig angeordneten Endscheiben aus Kunststoff dicht und fest angeordnet ist. Während die eine Endscheibe geschlossen ausgeführt ist, baut die andere Endscheibe offen und weist dazu in einem mittigen Anschlußstutzen einen zentralen Durchgang auf, in dem zugleich zur Befestigung einer Kraftstoffleitung eine Gewindemutter aus Metall eingesetzt ist. Die offene Endscheibe hat auf diese Weise Anschlußmittel, die hier als Gewindestutzen ausgeführt sind. Ferner ragen in das Innere des Filtereinsatzes Stützrohre, welche aus Kunststoff bestehen und einstückig mit den Endscheiben ausgeführt sind. Die Endscheiben werden hier im Kunststoff-Spritzgießverfahren hergestellt, so daß bei unterschiedlichen Anschlußarten jeweils gesonderte Spritzwerkzeuge notwendig sind, was erheblichen Kosten- und Fertigungsaufwand erfordert. Zur Befestigung des Filtereinsatzes im eigentlichen Filtergehäuse sind je nach Ausführung des Filters verschiedenartige Anschlüsse notwendig. Ferner hat der vorbekannte Filtereinsatz den Nachteil, daß bei dessen Herstellung die aus Kunststoff bestehenden Endscheiben zum Einsumpfen des aus Filterpapier bestehenden Sternelements mittels einer Heizeinrichtung aufgeschmolzen werden müssen. Beim Aufschmelzen solcher Kunststoffe, die gegen Kraftstoff widerstandsfähig sein müssen, wird bedingt durch deren hohen Schmelzpunkt ein entsprechend hoher Energieaufwand notwendig, was einer kostengünstigen Herstellung entgegensteht.It is such a filter insert for fuel filters known from DE 35 14 778 C1, in which the star executed filter element between two ends arranged plastic end plates tight and firm is arranged. While one end plate is closed is executed, the other end plate is open and points in addition a central one in a central connecting piece Passage in which at the same time to attach a A metal threaded nut is used in the fuel line is. The open end plate has in this way Connection means, which are designed here as threaded connectors. Support tubes also protrude into the interior of the filter insert, which are made of plastic and are integral with the End plates are executed. The end plates are here in the Plastic injection molding process, so that at different connection types each separate Injection molds are necessary, which is considerable cost and Manufacturing effort required. To attach the Filter insert in the actual filter housing depend on Design of the filter different types of connections necessary. Furthermore, the known filter insert has the Disadvantage that in the manufacture of plastic existing end plates for soaking the filter paper existing star element by means of a heating device must be melted. When melting such Plastics that are resistant to fuel is due to their high melting point correspondingly high energy consumption necessary, which one stands in the way of inexpensive production.

Ferner ist aus der DE 44 16 577 A1 ein ähnlicher Filtereinsatz bekannt, bei dem ein Sternfilterelement zwischen zwei Endscheiben aus Kunststoff angeordnet ist, wobei die offene Endscheibe für eine andere Anschlußart ausgeführt ist. Die offene Endscheibe weist hier als Anschlußmittel einen im zentralen Durchgang liegenden Dichtring auf, so daß für diese Bauart eine gesonderte Spritzgießform erforderlich ist.Furthermore, DE 44 16 577 A1 is a similar one Filter insert known in which a star filter element is arranged between two plastic end plates, the open end plate for a different type of connection is executed. The open end plate points here as Connection means one lying in the central passage Sealing ring on, so that a separate for this type Injection mold is required.

Ferner ist es aus der DE-AS 1 461 451 bekannt, bei einem Filtereinsatz mit hohlzylindrisch ausgebildetem Filterelement die abdichtenden Endscheiben durch Vergießen von Kunststoff in einer Form herzustellen, so daß ein zusätzliches Aufschmelzen zum Einsumpfen des Papierelements entfällt. Hier ist die offene Endscheibe in eine Grundplatte aus Kunststoff eingegossen, die neben ihrem zentralen Gewindestutzen außenliegende Einlaßöffnungen aufweist und selbst ein Teil eines Filtergehäuses darstellt. Diese Grundplatte baut sehr aufwendig und eignet sich nicht für verschiedene Anschlußvariationen bei kostengünstiger Bauweise. Furthermore, it is known from DE-AS 1 461 451, in one Filter insert with a hollow cylindrical design Filter element the sealing end plates by casting of plastic in a mold so that a additional melting to soak the paper element eliminated. Here is the open end plate in a base plate cast in plastic next to its central Threaded connector has external inlet openings and itself forms part of a filter housing. This Base plate builds very complex and is not suitable for different connection variations at lower cost Construction.

DE 4222136 A1 zeigt einen Flüssigkeitsfilter mit einem Filterelement mit einem doppelkonischen Stopfen 26. Der doppelkonische Stopfen 26 wird von einem Federelement 24 in einen im Deckel 13 des Gehäuses 11 vorgesehenen konischen Übergangsbereich 17 hineingedrückt.DE 4222136 A1 shows a liquid filter with a filter element with a double conical plug 26. The double conical plug 26 is a spring element 24 into a conical transition region 17 provided in the cover 13 of the housing 11 pushed.

EP 0773052 A1 offenbart ein Ringfilterelement, in dem das Filterelement 11 dichtend zwischen stirnseitigen Endscheiben 12, 13 aus Kunststoff angeordnet ist, wobei die eine Endscheibe 12 geschlossen ausgebildet ist. EP 0773052 A1 discloses a ring filter element in which the filter element 11 seals is arranged between end plates 12, 13 made of plastic, the one End plate 12 is closed.

Der Filtereinsatz läßt sich in energiesparender Weise herstellen, indem das Einsumpfen des Filterelements beim Gießen der Endscheiben aus Kunststoff vorgenommen wird, bevor der Kunststoff erstarrt und eine dichte und feste Verbindung herstellt. Der hohe Energieaufwand zum erneuten Aufschmelzen eines kraftstoffresistenten Kunststoffes kann damit entfallen.The filter insert according to the invention with the characteristic Features of claim 1 has the advantage that it is the largest possible with the same basic design Variety of variants allows, while also simple and is inexpensive to manufacture. The additional inner parts are universally applicable, easy to manufacture and inexpensive to fix. The filter insert can be in manufacture in an energy-saving manner by sinking the Filter element when casting the end plates from plastic is made before the plastic solidifies and a creates a tight and firm connection.

Zeichnungdrawing

Zwei Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in der Zeichnung dargestellt und in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert. Es zeigen Figur 1 einen Längsschnitt durch ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel eines Filtereinsatzes für ein Kraftstoff-Filter und Figur 2 einen Längsschnitt durch einen Teil eines zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels.Two embodiments of the invention are in the Drawing shown and in the description below explained in more detail. 1 shows a longitudinal section through a first embodiment of a filter insert for a Fuel filter and Figure 2 shows a longitudinal section through a Part of a second embodiment.

Beschreibung der AusführungsbeispieleDescription of the embodiments

Die Figur 1 zeigt einen Längsschnitt durch einen Filtereinsatz 10 für ein Flüssigkeitsfilter in vereinfachter Darstellung, wie es bei Kraftstoff-Filtern verwendet wird. Der Filtereinsatz 10 hat ein hohlzylindrisch ausgebildetes Filterelement 11, das aus einem sternförmig gefalteten Filterpapier besteht und dessen zickzackförmig verlaufende Ränder in stirnseitigen Endscheiben 12, 13 aus Kunststoff dicht befestigt sind. Die untere Endscheibe 12 ist geschlossen und als ebene, kreisrunde Platte ausgebildet, während die obere Endscheibe 13 durch einen zentralen Durchgang 14 offen ausgebildet ist. Das sternförmige Filterelement 11 ist somit für eine radiale Durchströmung vorgesehen, wobei dies in der Regel von innen nach außen geschieht. Die sternförmig verlaufenden Ränder an den Stirnseiten des Filterelements 11 sind in die aus Kunststoff bestehenden Endscheiben 12, 13 eingegossen. Dies wird dadurch realisiert, daß das flüssige Kunststoffmaterial in eine Form eindosiert wird und in der Regel daran anschließend das papierne Filterelement 11 in das noch nicht erstarrte Material gedrückt wird. Nach dem Aushärten des Kunststoffs wird eine dichte und feste Verbindung zwischen Endscheiben 12, 13 und Filterelement 11 erreicht.1 shows a longitudinal section through a Filter insert 10 for a liquid filter in a simplified Representation of how it is used with fuel filters. The filter insert 10 has a hollow cylindrical design Filter element 11, which consists of a star-folded There is filter paper and its zigzag shape Edges in end plates 12, 13 made of plastic are tightly attached. The lower end plate 12 is closed and designed as a flat, circular plate, while the upper end plate 13 by a central Passage 14 is open. The star-shaped Filter element 11 is thus for a radial flow provided, this usually from the inside out happens. The star-shaped edges on the End faces of the filter element 11 are made of plastic existing end plates 12, 13 cast. this will realized in that the liquid plastic material in a form is dosed and usually attached to it then the paper filter element 11 into the not yet solidified material is pressed. After curing the Plastic becomes a tight and tight connection between End plates 12, 13 and filter element 11 reached.

Wie die Figur 1 näher zeigt, ist die offene Endscheibe 13 zweiteilig aufgebaut und besteht aus einem mit dem Filterelement 11 verbundenen Außenring 15 und einem Innenteil 16, in dem neben dem zentralen Durchgang 14 die Anschlußmittel 17 angeordnet sind, die hier als O-Ring 18 ausgebildet sind. Das Innenteil 16 ist im wesentlichen rotationssymmetrisch ausgebildet und hat eine den Durchgang 14 aufnehmende Nabe 19, an deren Außenumfang ein sich radial erstreckender Ringflansch 21 einstückig angeformt ist. Das Innenteil 16 ist mit einem in das Innere des Filtereinsatzes 10 ragenden Nabenteil 22 in einer Führungsbohrung 23 des Außenrings 15 zentriert. Der Außendurchmesser des Ringflansches 21 ist wesentlich größer als der Innendurchmesser der Führungsbohrung 23; ferner weisen der Ringflansch 21 und der Außenring 15 jeweils einen rechteckigen Querschnitt auf, deren lange Seiten aneinanderliegen, so daß zwischen beiden eine relativ große, überlappende Berührungsfläche 24 liegt. Diese Berührungsfläche 24 ist nun als Schweißverbindung 25 ausgeführt, so daß der Außenring 15 mit dem Innenteil 16 dicht und fest verbunden ist. Die Schweißverbindung 25 ist dabei vorteilhaft durch Ultraschallschweißen oder durch Reibschweißen herstellbar. Das Innenteil 16 hat ferner ein nach außen ragendes Nabenteil 26, an dessen Außenumfang in einer Ringnut 27 der Dichtring 18 angeordnet ist.As FIG. 1 shows in more detail, the open end plate is 13 constructed in two parts and consists of one with the Filter element 11 connected outer ring 15 and one Inner part 16, in which in addition to the central passage 14 Connection means 17 are arranged, here as an O-ring 18th are trained. The inner part 16 is essentially rotationally symmetrical and has a Passage 14 receiving hub 19, on its outer circumference radially extending ring flange 21 in one piece is molded. The inner part 16 has one inside of the filter insert 10 projecting hub part 22 in one Center bore 23 of the outer ring 15. The The outer diameter of the ring flange 21 is much larger than the inner diameter of the guide bore 23; further the ring flange 21 and the outer ring 15 each have one rectangular cross-section on whose long sides lie next to each other, so that a relatively large, overlapping contact surface 24. This Contact surface 24 is now a welded joint 25 executed so that the outer ring 15 with the inner part 16th is tightly and firmly connected. The weld joint 25 is advantageous by ultrasonic welding or by Friction welding can be produced. The inner part 16 also has a outwardly projecting hub part 26, on the outer circumference in an annular groove 27 of the sealing ring 18 is arranged.

Das Innenteil 16 ist einfach, stabil und kostengünstig aufgebaut und kann aus dem gleichen Kunststoff hergestellt werden wie der Außenring 15. Vorteilhaft läßt sich dafür ein gegen Kraftstoff widerstandsfähiger Kunststoff, wie zum Beispiel Polyamid, verwenden. Der Außenring 15 mit dem Filterelement 11 und der geschlossenen Endscheibe 12, also ohne das Innenteil 16, bilden zusammen ein Grundelement 28, das als Ausgangsbasis für verschiedene Filtereinsätze verwendbar ist. Bei der Herstellung des Filtereinsatzes 10 kann dabei so vorgegangen werden, daß zuerst das Grundelement 28 aufgebaut wird und anschließend das Innenteil 16 an den Außenring 15 angeschweißt wird. Der so hergestellte Filtereinsatz 10 wird in ein nicht näher gezeichnetes Filtergehäuse eingebaut, wobei der O-Ring 18 in an sich bekannter Weise die Abdichtung zwischen der Schmutzund der Reinseite im Inneren des Filtergehäuses übernimmt.The inner part 16 is simple, stable and inexpensive constructed and can be made of the same plastic be like the outer ring 15 plastic resistant to fuel, such as Example use polyamide. The outer ring 15 with the Filter element 11 and the closed end plate 12, that is without the inner part 16, together form a basic element 28, as the basis for various filter inserts is usable. In the manufacture of the filter insert 10 can be done so that first Basic element 28 is built and then that Inner part 16 is welded to the outer ring 15. The way Filter insert 10 produced is not in a closer shown filter housing installed, the O-ring 18 in in a manner known per se the seal between the dirt and the clean side inside the filter housing takes over.

Die Figur 2 zeigt einen Längsschnitt durch einen Teil eines zweiten Filtereinsatzes 30, der sich vom ersten Filtereinsatz 10 nach Figur 1 wie folgt unterscheidet, wobei gleiche Bauelemente mit gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen sind. Der zweite Filtereinsatz 30 weist ein gleiches Grundelement 28 auf, an dessen offener Endscheibe 13 ein anderes Innenteil 31 festgeschweißt ist. Beim Innenteil 31 ist in den zentralen Durchgang 14 eine Gewindemutter 32 aus Metall eingesetzt, die hier als Anschlußmittel 17 dient. Das Innenteil 31 läßt sich in gleicher Weise wie beim ersten Filtereinsatz 10 durch Schweißen am Außenring 15 befestigen. Der zweite Filtereinsatz 30 wird in an sich bekannter Weise in ein nicht näher gezeichnetes Filtergehäuse eingebaut, wobei in die Gewindemutter 32 eine Kraftstoffleitung eingeschraubt werden kann. Auf diese Weise läßt sich ohne Änderung des Grundelements 28 eine andere Anschlußbauart verwirklichen, so daß mit geringstmöglichem Aufwand eine größtmögliche Variationsvielfalt realisierbar ist.Figure 2 shows a longitudinal section through part of a second filter insert 30, which differs from the first Filter insert 10 according to Figure 1 differs as follows, wherein Identical components with the same reference numerals are. The second filter insert 30 has the same Base element 28, at its open end plate 13 other inner part 31 is welded. For the inner part 31 is a threaded nut 32 in the central passage 14 Metal used, which serves as connection means 17 here. The Inner part 31 can be made in the same way as in the first Secure filter insert 10 to outer ring 15 by welding. The second filter insert 30 is in a manner known per se installed in a filter housing, not shown, a fuel line in the threaded nut 32 can be screwed in. This way you can without Change the basic element 28 a different type of connection realize so that with the least possible effort greatest possible variety is feasible.

Selbstverständlich sind an den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen Änderungen möglich, ohne vom Gedanken der Erfindung abzuweichen. Anstelle der gezeigten Innenteile mit den Anschlußmitteln in Form von Dichtring-Ringnut beziehungsweise Gewindemutter für Schraubanschluß, lassen sich auch anders aufgebaute Innenteile verwenden. Obwohl es zweckmäßig ist, die beiden Teile der offenen Endscheibe aus dem gleichen Kunststoff herzustellen und sie durch eine Schweißverbindung fest und dicht miteinander zu befestigen, kann es auch zweckmäßig sein, diese beiden Teile in der Berührungsfläche 24 miteinander zu verkleben.Of course, are shown on the Embodiments possible changes without thought to deviate from the invention. Instead of the inner parts shown with the connection means in the form of a ring seal or threaded nut for screw connection use other internal parts. Although it is expedient, the two parts of the open end plate manufacture the same plastic and use a Secure the welded connection tightly and tightly together it may also be useful to have these two parts in the Touch surface 24 to glue together.

Bei der Herstellung des Filtereinsatzes 10, 30 kann es auch zweckmäßig sein, die Innenteile aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff herzustellen und in eine Spritzform einzulegen, in die anschließend eine thermoplastische Schmelze für den Außenring 15 frei extrudiert wird. Dabei wird das Innenteil im Bereich der Berührungsfläche 24 von der extrudierten Schmelze angeschmolzen. Ferner wird in diese Schmelze das papierne Filterelement stirnseitig eingetaucht. Nach dem Erstarren der Schmelze kann die offene Endscheibe 13 aus der Spritzform ausgehoben werden, wobei das Filterelement stirnseitig dicht verschlossen ist und die beiden Teile der Endscheibe dicht und fest miteinander verbunden sind.In the manufacture of the filter insert 10, 30 it can also be useful, the inner parts made of thermoplastic Producing plastic and inserting it into an injection mold, into which a thermoplastic melt for the Outer ring 15 is freely extruded. The inner part in the area of the contact surface 24 from the extruded Melted melt. Furthermore, this is in this melt paper filter element immersed on the face. After this The open end plate 13 can solidify from the melt Injection mold are lifted, the filter element is sealed at the end and the two parts of the End plate are tightly and firmly connected.
